I bought fresh lamb mince yesterday and wanted to freez it. then I remembered this recipy I made a couple of time for guest. It is delicious and even children like it. It is from a old cook book called "Caf´e marocain". This makes a great dish for a dinner party you can cook it in advance and can sit a the table with your friends. It also freezes well.
You can also make this with ribeye.
